Poem#164 Prayed For You

John 17


While we were sleeping in our Sins Jesus prayed for us

Even while we should have been praying Jesus Prayed

With Blood on His forhead as sweat Jesus prayed for us



Taking time away from being selfless doesn’t mean it’s selfishness

Even Jesus had to take time away from the people He was serving

After going through the Wilderness Angels came to Minister to Him



Pride in our Hearts can lead us to ways of selfishness, but pride also

Keeps us from reaching for help in times of needing our minds renewed

Refusing to forgive ourselves will lead us away from God’s Forgiveness



Request to Jesus the prayers of our Heart make them known out loud

Jesus has seen the pain in our heart that’s keeping us from knowing Him

So let Jesus pray for you over you even as He takes Our Sin to the Cross



Love God with all of our soul & Mind by Loving our neighbor like ourselves

Which means letting go the guilt, shame that’s keeping me from loving Me

It’s perfectly okay to call on Jesus to Minister to our Heart that’s hurting



Jesus formed us in our Wombs writing the days of our Life & He prays

While watching us Grow & mold us into the Characters He design for us

He knows & allows all we go through as we get stuck in our own ways



We’re going to wonder off, we’re going to trip & fall we’re going to sin

That’s why Jesus prays for us while we’re sleeping instead of praying

Jesus knew His Disciples would fall asleep & knew we would too



Even as Jesus prayed “ let not my will be done, but your will be done”

As the sweat of blood appeard on his brow Jesus prayed what we didn’t

Jesus prayed to soften our Heart to plant the seeds of His Gospel
 
Hi Walker
I love your poem. As I read through I had tears in my eyes. What love The Lord has in His pure heart!
Thanks, I give the credit to the Holy Spirit as I didn’t sleep well at all last night because of just getting a cold out of nowhere, but The few times I tried getting some sleep as I listen to music to help my mind relax, well Zach Williams new Song “ Flesh and Bone” and started thinking about John 17 and felt the Holy Spirit nudge me to get up and write.
 
I guess you wasn't meant to ho to sleep. If I can't get to sleep I sometimes listen to music.
I have never heard Zach Williams before. Thanks for theyso

Blessings
